Immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent meningococcal tetanus toxoid-conjugate vaccine (MenACYW-TT): A review of the evidence and expert opinion.

In Italy, pediatric and public health groups recommend amending the current vaccination schedule to include a booster dose between 6 and 9 years and quadrivalent vaccine in young adults (≥19 years), targeting waning protection after childhood vaccination and the age cohort with the highest carrier prevalence (adolescents and young adults). MenACYW-TT is a suitable meningococcal vaccine for current and pending recommendations based on high seroprotection rates and a low incidence of adverse events in these age groups. Moreover, it does not require reconstitution.
